You might be at 260rwhp or so and thats not that great. I mean the gears help but you still will bet beat by a stock mach 1 or s197. I mean most of the retards that pull up next to you are probably going to be ricers and slower cars that just want to take on a mustang to see if they can beat you or see if you mess up and then they have a reason to brag. But seriously, who buys brake rotors just for looks??? If youre going to buy brakes for looks, at least make them brakes that are going to be bigger to fill that 18" wheel better(because stock, no matter what rotors you have, look WAY too small in 18's) and by them being bigger, they will offer more performance and look way better. Plus the calipers with the mach/cobra brakes look so much better than the GT ones.
Now over the summer, you will be much better off power wise. But get Cobra brakes...you wont regret it.

yeah, I mean I have to agree with teej, if you're going to be putting down that kind of money, might as well do the little extra and "cobra" brake kit, I know I wish I did when I had to replace my rotors

so much fast and furious talk, take it to a track, Brembo 13" blanks are the best rotors for the coin. If you want looks, just do what those companies do and take a drill press to the brembo 13"s you'll most likely not live after a few stops but hey, atleas you have the super cool looks.

Why would you pay $275 for a set of front rotors when you can get cobra brakes that will alone look much better because they are bigger and they will provide better braking than factory brakes with upgraded rotors that are only slightly more Cobra brakes get my voteCobra brakes get my vote. They will look much better than those.
